There were few stranger sights on the opening weekend of the Women’s Super League season than that of the London City Lionesses manager, Jocelyn Prêcheur, standing in his technical area with large headphones on and a microphone in hand.
After Nikita Parris went in the book for a hefty challenge on Arsenal’s Katie McCabe 20 minutes in, Prêcheur was called to do a live interview with the BBC. It was three minutes after Kosovare Asllani had converted from the spot for the visiting team, scoring her side’s first WSL goal and shocking the Emirates Stadium crowd. And there was the manager with his back to the pitch, live on air.
